I can see a future where the US will ban Chinese computer games. In the US they're already talking about banning Chinese software in EVs. You already see European car companies partnering with Chinese car companies on software. BTW, where are the superior Indian programmers in this space? A ban would essentially prevent even European cars from being sold in the US and that's probably the reason why is to prevent foreign Western car companies from doing business with the Chinese at all.
With computer games they can make the same argument as they do with Confucius Institutes and TikTok. China is out to brainwash their children. That's why Beijing deciding what kind of games Chinese gaming companies should make riding off of Black Myth Wukong's success is a bad idea. That's if you care which some who link this up with Chinese soft power are doing.
Interesting because the DEI advocates say that if Chinese games want access to the markets of the West, they have to comply to their standards. But in their attacks on the success of Black Myth Wukong, they dismiss the Chinese as consumers when it seems they are a major factor on the success of nearly every other game. When China makes edit demands to Hollywood if they want their movies shown in Chinese theaters, the US will cry it's a violation of artistic integrity. And that's only for the movies that are shown in China. What Western DEI advocates demand is game developers do this for everyone no matter what part of the world. This is why those that advocate China say nothing... do nothing are wrong. China should make a statement like suing these consulting companies and journalists. Some in the US say there's a case for them to be sued. And then let them do their worse defending themselves. If they get racist sympathy in the West, the better. Even if China loses, the next day China should send a team to Hollywood demanding all the studios show them all their plans and movies for the world they're making and demand changes to everything according to Chinese wishes. That's what these people are demanding of Chinese gaming companies. This either will kill these consulting companies or China takes over creative control of Hollywood.
